    WOW! How wrong are you? You don't even know what the .NET Framework IS!!

    Which has nothing to do with the .NET Framework!

    Which is utterly irrelevent.

    There is no .NET "operating system". There are parts of Windows that are written using the .NET Framework, but the .NET Framework is itself NOT an operating system, nor part of one.

    No, they have parts of the Shell written using the .NET Framework. I'm done with you. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about nor do you want to hear that you're wrong about certain things. Also, you don't even know how to listen to people who are trying to have a converstation with you. All you know how to do is tell everyone "YOU'RE WRONG! IT'S MY WAY".

    Windows RT is the dot net framework as an operating system. The reason it was called a framework is because it is a structure on top of the old.

      That is my point, and no one in Microsoft has yet to refer to it as windows 9.

            A major release is any version that can be purchased directly at a store. Service packs never changed the structure of windows.

            XP SP2 had major changes to the OS. I *may* be wrong, I never purchased a copy, but I would imagine that if you purchased a copy in 2005, it would be XP SP2, not just XP with no service packs installed.

                Service Pack 2 (SP2) was released on August 25, 2004,[57] SP2 added new functionality to Windows XP, such as WPA encryption compatibility and improved Wi-Fi support (with a wizard utility), a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and partial Bluetooth support. Service Pack 2 also added new security enhancements (codenamed "Springboard"),[58] which included a major revision to the included firewall (renamed Windows Firewall, and now enabled by default), Data Execution Prevention gained hardware support in the NX bit that can stop some forms of buffer overflow attacks. Also raw socket support is removed (which supposedly limits the damage done by zombie machines). Additionally, security-related improvements were made to e-mail and web browsing. Service Pack 2 also added Security Center, an interface which provides a general overview of the system's security status, including the state of the firewall and automatic updates. Third-party firewall and antivirus software can also be monitored from Security Center.[59] Nothing in there is a noticeable change to the user

                          Not sure what you're getting at here with the "noticeable change" philosophy. If the logo changed to a from the Windows banner to a leprechaun, would that constitute a "major version"? I think we can agree to disagree. Your perspective is unlikely to change, and I think that it can be safely said I will not align myself with your feelings. Have a great weekend buddy ! Blow off some steam, and come back fresh on Monday. :)

                            Sorry Vista (2006) to Windows 7 (2009) was 3 years like Windows 7 (2009) to Windows 8 (2012) I knew they were the same time frame just didn't remember how long. But still proves my point dick.

                            Forgetting the fact that you seem to contradict yourself on every post, calling me a dick is immature and uncalled for when I simply corrected a factual mistake without comment.

                              You lost the ability to be funny after you took a rude stance.

                              A rude stance? Sounds kinky. You really don't have sense of humour.
